GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.
M. Goblet Unable to Form a New
French Ministry.
Indications That Rouyier or ciemen-
ceau VIII be the Man.
Russia's Attitude No Longer a Cause
for Alarm.

PARIS, Dec. S.-M. Goblet experiences diff
fculty in forming Cabinet He was foiled
by the refusal of NJ. Ribot to remain In
Cabinet in which two portfolios were given
to members Of the Extreme Left-M. Sigis-
mond Lacroix and M. Dorian. At a pro
Ionged conference between the President
and NM. Goblet and Ribot, the President
supporting Goblet no agreement was
reached. NJ. Ricard, president Of the Union
Of the Left, joins Ribot in refusing to enter
the Cabinet. Goblet regards Rieard's action
as a refusal Of the Union of the Left to CO.
operate, and will probably resign the task OF
forming a ministry. III he does, Nj. ROuvter
will probably be recalled to head mOdlned
Cabinet. 1t Is reported that the dissension
between Goblet and Ribot IS due 70 other
reasons besides the share OF the Radicals IN
the government, notably as to differences In
regard to the income tax and worship budget.
1t is stated that M. Clemenceau strongly
opposes the return Of M. Rouvier TO power.
1t is thought probable that the President
will be obliged to ask M. Clemenceau hlmse1
to form a Cabinet.
Getting over the Scare.
PEsTH, Dec. SIN the best informed cir
cles, the situation arising from the reinforce
ment OF Russian troops in Poland is not re-
garded as portending immediate danger.
Nothing more will be done beyond the send
ing of warning to Russia that Austria is
watchful and will not leave unanswered any
further military measures that Russia may
take Austria will not precipitate counter
measures, because she does not desire 20
leave Russia without loophole or to give
her retreat the appearance OIL being due 10
Austrian menaces. 1t Is expected that Aus
f~to mill 70 Rucofa a hriQf slaiau for fur-
nishing a spontaneous explanation OF the
massing Of her troops. Meanwhile Austri-
an preparations will quietly continue: The
press regard matters In perfectly ealm
spirit.

Col. Lambard's Removal.


AUGUSTA, Dec. 8.-The removal of Col.
Thomas Lambard from the superintendency
of the public building works, which was
announced today, has been expected for a
long period, it being well known that Col.
Morton, Capt. Black, Thomas Murphy and
other such shining lights of the Democratic
party were determined to secure his decapi-
tation. The alleged reasons are that Mr.
Lambard isl not practical builder,
and in the interest of economy.
But it is well known here that Morton and
his gang did not like Lambard because he
would not do dirty work for them, and make
a complete Democratic annex of the public
building job. Nathaniel Noyes, foreman OF
the building, will remain in that capacity,

Almost, if not quite, the earliest. subject
pressed upon Congress will be that of inter
national copyright. The Authors League
has petition ready, with the signatures Of
nearly every author of any distinction at
all-432 autographs, which in the original
document, would bring pretty price as a
collection Whatever may be its effect upon
Congressional action, it will certainly re-
main an official treasure in Washington. But
the promoters of the movement hope for sue

signed is very brief, containing only about
200 words, setting forth that the signers,
who chiefly earn their living by authorship,
